What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Imo you should also swap in this:

I went silver on the steering wheel trim cuz I think the silver goes better with the rest of dash, especially if you swapped over the 22+ which has the silver trim around the gauge cluster. I like stuff more uniform but that's me. I wish Kia had done either all gloss black, all silver/aluminum or all carbon fiber instead of mixing/matching in the various model interiors.
I’m actually not a fan of the silver steering wheel trim, if anything I would do the red carbon. I like the black though it matches the cluster trim, ac control bezel and my shifter.

I get it, that red carbon trim does look snazzy. I was going for a more subtle look for mine.

Ill agree on the uniform look. Ive since changed my consistency to match other highlights (will post it shortly). Of couse mine being a 2.slo i have all the black minus minimal stuff.

Ok....been on the fence about posting these but i put my big boy pants on to take the abuse of "why".
That color ties in to the under the hood stuff as well. Also taps in to the neochrome lugs im running.
The darker shots were done at Elite Tuner by a good friend and the others right after install.
And yes in a post above i stated that a uniformed interior is nice, but i didn't feel this was waaay over the top. Its been a couple months and im still happy with my little experiment so in the end i guess thats a win.

Did you add the aluminum sport pedals? Because my '19 Premium only has black rubber pedals and dead pedal/foot rest.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

Wow im impressed you saw that! Yea long story but yes i picked up a set. They dead pedal was a separate grab because its "built" in to the carpet
 
Posted my thoughts on the other thread.

The car came with rubber mats that appear to be a factory option but they're way too slippery for my taste.

This key cover you really need to see and feel in the flesh, I dropped mine a couple of times and the little nicks in the chrome was pissing me off but wow all fixed now.

Not sure why the hole is there maybe to let the transmitter waves thru ??
I am gonna glue a small magnet to it and another on the console somewhere to keep it in one spot
 
I've had my car for about a week now and am slowly making it mine.

Previous owner did a few mods that I am not too fond of so last night I removed the E badging on the front bumper, wheel center caps and valve stems.

I know the E badging is popular on here but the look isn't for me.

I'm digging the stormtrooper look and am thinking of swapping the door handles to black ones to help complete the look.

Were all the Stinger front door handles lighted?

I believe these ones are lighted as they look just like mine on the underside.

Decided to run on A/S throughout the year going forward. Took my GT wheels with A/S tires on them to the tire shop and had them mounted on my aftermarket wheels and paid to have the four worn Michelin PS4S tires scrapped. Total cost to mount, balance and scrap four tires plus tax came to $156.07, about $15 less expensive than Big O. The interesting corollary was the return drive back home with the bare wheels in the hatch. About half a dozen times, the TPMS system alerted me that the LF tire was zero psi, then switched back to showing full psi. It ended up being exposure to zero psi by the exposed sensors. Once I put the wheels on the shelves in the shed and went for a quick run, the TPMS stopped getting conflicted and settled down perfectly.

I much prefer the new updated Kia logo, (on all of their vehicles), compared to the old one.
